Where is the best place to buy replacement brakes for my 2008 335 - I saw kits online from Bavauto - they have a full car kit for $599. Is this the best place to get these - or as good any any?

I bought my rotors from http://brakeperformance.com/
I purchased the Premium Dimpled and Slotted Brake Rotors for just over $400 which included free shipping. They come with free pads (or you can purchase upgraded pads) but I was warned about their free pads from a fellow memember. He suggested akebono pads which I found a really good deal on the internet. I bought the sensors, clips and BMW OEM brake fluid from ECS. All together it came out to just under $600.

I did the install and brake fluid flush myself (following the DIY's on the forum). The rotors are definitely a much needed aesthetic upgrade and with the akebono pads they feel much like stock under normal breaking conditions, but they have a really good bite when you press hard on the brake pedal. Also the akebono pads are almost dustless. I drove my car for two weeks, through several down pours, before washing my car and the wheels had very little brake dust build up. Compared to OEM where if i went two weeks without cleaning my car the wheels would be almost black.

You can get OE/Genuine BMW parts at HuskerBMW (bmwmercedesparts.com) for $621.59. That's rotors, pads and sensors.

AutohausAZ.com has the full set (with sensors) for $513.66 w/free shipping. That's Zimmerman rotors and Textar pads which are both good.

If you want cheaper rotors Centric Premiums (not the standard) are actually a decent product. You can get those at RockAuto for $255.56 for a full set.
